Philippians 4:4-8
1599 Geneva Bible
4 [a]Rejoice in the [b]Lord always, again I say, rejoice.
5 [c]Let your [d]patient mind be known unto all men. [e]The Lord is at hand.
6 [f]Be nothing careful, but in all things let your requests be showed unto God in prayer and supplication with [g]giving of thanks.
7 And the [h]peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall preserve your [i]hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 [j]Furthermore, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [k]are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are worthy love, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, or if there be any praise, think on these things.
